How is it calculated?

These markers are an editorial estimate calculated automatically from the perfume's real accords and their intensity, following the classic reading of scent families (hesperidics and aromatics shine in summer and at the office, ambers and gourmands in winter and in the evening…). They do not come from user votes and do not replace a test on skin.

Why choose one… or the other?

Why choose Sailing Day

  • Its pyramid opens on seaweed, neroli, driftwood, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Markedly fresher, carried by marine and citrus.
  • Released in 2019, when the other dates from 2007.
  • More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: seaweed, driftwood).
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.

Why choose Sandflowers

  • It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • vetiver, jasmine, bergamot: all materials absent from Sailing Day.
  • amber give it a roundness the other lacks.
  • Our calculated profile has it at ease in 8 situations out of 8, where the other holds 4.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
